Three questions for Jerry & Wade

The Cowboys state-of-the-franchise news conference featuring Jerry Jones and Wade Phillips is set to start around 3 p.m. The running bet here in Meeting Room L at the Alamodome is that we’ll have to wait until around 3:30 to see them enter the room.

Right off the bat, I’d like to hear from Jerry and Wade whether they think Marion Barber made a convincing case last season to continue as the lead runner.

I’d also like to find out the status of left guard Kyle Kosier, who sat out most of last season and minicamp with a foot injury. If Kosier can’t go, are they confident Montrae Holland can do the job?

And what about Miles Austin and Sam Hurd? Are they still nursing the injuries that made them sit out minicamp?
